About the role

  • Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models for image-based tasks such as classification, object detection, segmentation, super-resolution, and image generation
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to define imaging use cases, translate requirements into technical solutions, and deliver end-to-end ML workflows
  • Build and maintain robust image preprocessing, augmentation, and data validation pipelines for diverse datasets
  • Implement, train, and fine-tune deep learning architectures including CNNs, vision transformers, diffusion models, and other modern vision frameworks
  • Evaluate model performance using quantitative metrics and visual analysis to identify failure modes and improvement opportunities
  • Optimize models for scalability, latency, and real-time inference through techniques such as quantization, pruning, and efficient architecture design
  • Contribute to production-grade ML pipelines, including model versioning, deployment, monitoring, and MLOps best practices
  • Stay current with the latest research in computer vision and apply innovative approaches to solve business-critical challenges

Requirements

  • 3+ years of hands-on industry experience in machine learning and deep learning with a strong focus on computer vision
  • Solid understanding of core vision concepts such as convolutional networks, feature extraction, image transformations, and geometric reasoning
  • Strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks including PyTorch or TensorFlow, along with tools like OpenCV and scikit-learn
  • Experience training and tuning large-scale models on GPU-based infrastructure
  • Strong grasp of model evaluation techniques and image quality metrics such as IoU, PSNR, and SSIM
  • Hands-on exposure to deploying ML models in production environments using Docker and modern MLOps practices
  • A curious, research-driven mindset with the ability to translate new ideas into practical, high-impact solutions
  • Bonus experience with transformer-based vision models, multimodal learning, synthetic data generation, or edge/embedded vision systems
